When is the meet
19th October man
Okay so besides the stress from school I think I found another reason for me feeling sick and weak all the time:
I got blood tested a weak ago and it came back that my vitamin D is really low, like abnormal apparently.
It causes: muscle weakness, particularly if there is an unexplained change in muscle strength. changes in mood, with people who have low vitamin D experiencing anxiety or depression.
do you not supplement with Vit D ?
Nope, I didnt know it was needed. I thought you could get it from veggies and the sun etc. I’ve done some reading and it seems you need vitamin d supplementation
if you buy they they are usually 1000iu and recommend 1 tablet a day. Most people seem to take up to 5000iu a day (5 tablets). Read up on it or ask a question on here and then decide for yourself.
Thanks man. Gotta get this deficiency sorted asap
If you wanna try and increase Vit D, you’d be well served to also try and eat/drink lots of dairy and oily fish. Milk, cheese, sardines, tuna, salmon etc. are all good sources of vitamin D. Unfortunately, (someone please correct me if I’m mistaken), vitamin D isn’t very concentrated in fruits and vegetables
I drink 1-3 litres a day of milk. Maybe cheese is better?
Wouldn’t be sure to be honest, but I’m sure Google could help you out. How about fish?
Yeah I have tinned tuna sometimes, the mercury content scares me sometimes. Maybe i should eat like salmon once a week.
I get the presmoked salmon fillets and have them pretty regularly. If you’re worried about mercurcy then sardines (if you can stomach them) are a good option
Mate nothing a bit of sea salt and italian herbs cant fix. Well I’ve never had sardines so I hope so lol
Fair warning, don’t buy the cheapest ones on the shelf. Sardines can be nasty if they’re low quality. I especially recommend the ones canned with olive oil and (if possible) chilli. Have them with some mayo-type sauce with rice and they’re pretty good
todays training
Why the hell my coach thinks its a good idea to max out 4 days in a row, a week before comp i have no clue. Monday and Tuesday I maxed out, today (Thursday) and then I’m supposed to tomorrow. My coach is a great coach but sometimes I think he programs for himself and forgets I’m not like him lol. He has super fast recovery abilities and can handle alot more than i could handle
The comp medley 80,90,100 was programmed for axle clean and press and I failed 80kg because I’m fatigued from Monday and Tuesday. Tomorrow I have competition weight yoke for 15 meters and sandbag to shoulder comp weight which I will not be doing because that’s just silly. This whole week is silly. Hopefully next week I recover before comp… So yeah horrible horrible training session
That is the definition of a bad coach. A good coach adjust bis principles according to his trainees abilities. That’s why you have a coach in the first place. Otherwise you could just follow a pre written program.
your coach should be able to explain this in a way you can understand. maybe there is something there and you would prolly benefit from knowing what.
Hmm. Yeah I’m stopping coaching after this competition anyway, I’m training 3 days a week after and I went over what worked and what hasn’t and made a 3 day a week program.
You’re supposed to max out in competition lol. Not a week before in the gym for 4 days in a row
